Blackgold BGT3595 now available to retail (1 Viewer)

[Bagal]

I know a couple of people in these forums have already got hold of one of these cards but I noticed yesterday that Blackgold's website is no longer showing these as OEM only and they're now available in the retail section so I went and ordered myself one

With VAT and delivery, it worked out at £137 but with dual DVB-S/S2, dual DVB-T and analogue tuners it seems very good value to me considering the cost of competing tuners, in fact I'm not aware of any other tuner that offers dual DVB-S2 as I've been looking to add Freesat to my system for the last few months.

You can view the card for yourself here: BGT3595 - BlackGold

Be aware there is currently an issue with using both tuners for DVB-S2 at the same time:

DVB-S2 Detection issue - BlackGold

Thanks for pointing that out, the link you provided says that they have a fix currently in testing (as of 30/08) so hopefully it will be released by the time my card arrives

I've had the card for about a month and so far not had any issues, can record/watch itvhd and bbchd simultaneously.

Did this issue ever get sorted by BlackGold then??

Apaprently it's fixed in the latest drivers.
